Episode notes
Tim Dunn transport historian and enthusiast celebrates Britain's coastal cruising heritage.
The first of five inspiring stories of ships that still play an important part in our maritime history.
The MV Balmoral is Britain's most well travelled excursion ship, having visited more ports, piers and docks than any other ship of its type. Tim meets Trustees and Volunteers to find out why they want to get her sailing again.
Terry Sylvester, a Vice President of the PSPS, also explains how the Waverley and the Balmoral at one time came to work together.
Stormy Weather tells the story of five iconic ships:
- PS Waverley
- PS Medway Queen
- PS Kingswear Castle
- MV Balmoral
- TS Queen Mary
The series was inspired by the book Hurricane Hutch's Top 10 Ships of the Clyde.
